Tomato seeds «Chief of the Indians»

Tomato «Chief of the Indians» - an early-maturing, large-fruited variety. The growing season from emergence to the beginning of ripening is 80–85 days. Plants grow up to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall. Fruits weigh 300–600 g, are pinkish-red, heart-shaped, fleshy, and sweet, with excellent flavor.

The variety is resistant to fungal diseases. It is ideal for fresh salads and for producing high-quality tomato juice.

Tomatoes thrive in a sunny location with light, fertile, well-drained soil. Sow seeds for seedlings 55–65 days before transplanting into open ground or a greenhouse. The optimal growing temperature is +22 to +26 °C (72–79 °F) during the day and not below +15 °C (59 °F) at night. Transplant when the soil has warmed to +12 to +14 °C (54–57 °F), spacing plants 40–50 cm (16–20 in) apart and rows 60–70 cm (24–28 in) apart.

Care includes regular watering with warm water (preferably by drip irrigation), loosening and mulching the soil, and feeding with organic and mineral fertilizers. Plants are best trained to 1–2 stems, with side shoots removed and stems tied to a support. Good greenhouse ventilation and crop rotation help prevent diseases. Harvest fruits regularly to encourage continued production.
